Gold valves

Post by Ryan »

I am going to probably have my shop revalve by base vavles for woods riding. I was wondering if i got race tech vavles if i could do the revavle myself. Do they give you a vavling sheet when you buy them? If they do i will just put the vavling money into the gold vavles and vavle them myself. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, I know if you buy the valves from race-tech they give you a setup sheet for your shim stack. Getting them from a dealer would be benificial also. They will have the race-tech setup info, plus may be able to shed some more light....

A set-up sheet does come with gold valves and I believe you now also get a code or access into a website for some additional information or help. Check to be sure though since the only two I worked with only had the sujusted set-up information and that was about 3-4 years ago.

hi, i got one more question about gold vavles. For woods riding would it be better to have my shop revavle my stock base vavles for like $40 or would it be better for me to revavle the base vavles with gold vavles. Im just trying to figure out which would be better for the woods? Would the gold vavles help at all over small bumps.
